How To Feel Happier In A Natural Way

June 9th, 2010 Manny

We’d get ourselves to a doctor if we feel ill but if the feeling is emotional like being worried, sad or hopeless, we are likely to resist seeking help for months or even years. According to a survey by the pharmaceutical company Eli Lily, it takes 6 years for people to get treated for mood disorders.

Suffering in silence is a bad idea and failing to seek help for anxiety or depression is downright dangerous. The longer you wait, the worse things can get. Untreated anxiety can turn into depression and vice versa.

Getting a diagnose is your first step to feel like yourself again. You can ask your physician for a referral to a psychologist or a psychiatrist or you can call your insurer to provide you a list of mental health providers and I can assure you that you will be glad that you did. You can also do this to a friend who is struggling emotionally. (more…)

How To Get Organized In Seven Days

June 5th, 2010 Manny

You just have to devote just one week (a project a day) to creating order and you’ll be amazed what a calming influence it can be.

Monday: Organize your inbox. Come home early from work for a cleaning session. Activate your out-of-the-office e-mail reply and turn off the auto chime for two hours. Create new folders for contacts, projects and meetings. Sort them alphabetically then redirect e-mails to folders or delete them. So next time, be relentless and begin filing or deleting e-mails on arrival.

Tuesday: Organize your cabinet. Gather 2 cardboard boxes and place punch bowls and platters you haven’t used in months in basement or yard sale. Replace cabinet lining and sift through cans, teas and cracker boxes, throwing out the expired and moving older cans to the front. Place your flour, cereal and sugar into plastic containers to keep them fresh and protected against bugs. (more…)

Things You Should Know About Dating

June 3rd, 2010 Manny

1. Guys tend to say anything just to close the deal.

2. It’s always okay to say no. If he stops calling, it would only mean that he is not truly interested in you as a person.

3. If you are confused about whether a guy likes you or not, that’s probably not good. Try not to analyze the events because the truth will reveal itself without you having to do anything.

4. You can’t force chemistry. If you like him as a friend, the attraction might grow but if it doesn’t, don’t force it and don’t waste his time.

5. There are times that a guy flirts with you or pays attention to you only because it makes them feel good about themselves. But girls do it too, right?

6. Don’t lift a finger in the beginning. (more…)
